Forest Sea's long-range wireless terminal "Geochat".

Forest Sea (Koto-ku, Tokyo) will launch a long-range wireless terminal called "Geochat" this fall to prevent mountain climbers and forestry workers from getting lost. It is capable of two-way communication of up to 200 kilometers in a clear environment with no obstacles. Even when cell phones are out of range, such as in mountainous areas, workers can carry the terminal to send location information and emergency requests. The company is aiming for sales of more than 5 billion yen in the communication terminal business in five years. 920 megahertz (mega means one million) band radio waves with an output of 250 milliwatts will be transmitted over a long distance. It can reach more than 200 kilometers in a clear environment. Three repeaters were able to cover the mountainous area of Hakone, sending text of about 30 characters and location information from the Global Positioning System (GPS).

    Manufacturing process of hydraulic equipment at Konno Manufacturing

    Konno Seisakusho (Adachi-ku, Tokyo) will automate the inspection of three types of hydraulic equipment using an automatic inspection machine developed by the company. The company expects to be able to automate most of the inspection work that is currently done manually by one employee at the Fukushima Plant (Shinchi-machi, Fukushima Prefecture), and improve production efficiency by 5-10% compared to the current system at the plant. Konno Seisakusho has been actively promoting the linkage of information management systems and data both internally and externally, and has linked its PSI (production, sales, and inventory) management system with the ordering system for its Taiwan plant. By linking the inspection data to be acquired this time to the same system, it will also contribute to the sharing and efficiency of production schedule management.

      Picking solution robot that Nippon Express aims to put to practical use

      Nippon Express will commercialize a collaborative picking solutionfor logistics warehouses by the end of fiscal 2019, using robots (photo) from Rapyuta Robotics (Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Rapyuta Robotics). The company conducted a demonstration at its own distribution warehouse in June. Another demonstration experiment will be conducted in September with the aim of putting the system into practical use. The Laputa robot is an autonomous mobile robot (AMR) that assists people in their picking work. The core of the technology is the control and management of multiple robots in accordance with the progress of the work. The robots move along the aisles of the product shelves, show the workers the items to be removed from the shelves, and then transport the removed items. This reduces the range of movement for the worker, leading to reduced workload and time savings. (= July 12, 2019, photo location unknown, credit: Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun / Kyodo News Images)

        Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' drone flies stably even in 30-meter winds

        Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. announced today that it has successfully conducted an experiment to operate an unmanned aircraft system combining aerial and underwater flying robots (drones) from a distance of 1,000 kilometers. A dedicated line connected the experimental monitoring area in Kyushu to the company's office in Marunouchi, Tokyo. It was confirmed that the drone could be operated until it detected a suspicious ship approaching the area via radar, rushed to the area, monitored it, and automatically tracked it. In the future, we will conduct experiments at longer distances and increase the number of drones. The system will be commercialized by the end of fiscal 2019. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries has developed an attitude control technology for aerial drones that can withstand typhoon-force winds of 30 meters and fly stably.

          WEMO, a wearable memo in the shape of a smartphone case

          Cosmotec (Tachikawa City, Tokyo) has started test sales of "WEMO," a wearable memo in the shape of a smartphone case. This is the third in a series of products that won the "Tokyo Business Design Award for Excellence". The product is sold only through Amazon.com, but the company aims to sell 100,000 units as soon as possible by cultivating mass retailers and overseas sales channels. Since smartphones are excellent as items that can be taken out at a moment's notice and there is a strong demand for them, we developed a smartphone "case" type with business design company kenma (Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo). "Two types, one for iPhone 7/8 and the other for iPhone X/XS, are available at a price of 2,000 yen per unit (excluding consumption tax). "Wemo is a hit product of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's project to promote industry by matching small and medium enterprises with designers.(= July 1, 2019, photo location unknown, credit: Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun / Kyodo News Images)
